RE: May be a short stay on this forum... - 2

Bought the GS Tuesday, and on the 200 miles ride home I am (pretty) sure I made the right decision. I know if I can't do long pain-free rides on this bike, it's time for me to give up on riding. All the hype about the GS being great all around seem to be true. Very comfortable ergonomics, same power as the RS, light (much lighter than the RS) steering with neutral handling, good wind/weather protection. Unbelievably comfortable ride with the long suspension travel. I'll get some more miles on it and give an update.

Enjoy your new bike, always liked the GS, but with a 28” inseam they are far too tall for me to ride safely, the RS with the lowest seat is just about the right height for me.

Just googled wt comparison between RS and GS, as mentioned above. I honestly had to look twice. 🤔although the wt. is higher on the GS.
I may have to try one now.
